OK... I'm SO excited about the Impossible Project now... it seems that this is actually gonna happen. THANK YOU Florian!!!!

I teach advertising, creativity and photography in college, and for several years I'd presented my students with the challenge of creating an ad campaign based on Polaroid's analogue products.

You should've seen their faces when I told them that there might be a chance to recover the instant magic of the past.

YES!!! I can hardly wait. This is gonna be one GREAT Xmas.

Cheers and DREAM ON!!! It's worth it.

Well... THANKS 4 the scoop!!! So I guess it's now like playing lotto... you can either get a 600/779 pack from "the good stuff", or a complete lemon from the sides... just like STEAK! Cheers!!!

Well... it seems that 600 film has been revamped as 600/779... does anyone know the details on this op? Is this an improved emulsion? 779 was supposed to be the "Pro" version of 600 film... this is a mystery for me. = S
^ strictly confidential insider info - dont tell anybody I told you!

779 is the same as 600
egzactly
same negative, same developer chemistry, same production machine, same guy operating it - same evarything.
the difference that made 779 the "professional" variant of 600 is that the sheets for 779 are cut out of the *middle* of the broad bands of film that comes out of the machine, which allegedly means more evenly spread "chemical pixels" and therewith bettah quality.

..there is still severe difference of opinion between experts, if you need to compare 1000 or 10.000 shots of the two to see the statistical difference...

..but like always, subjectivism rules, we see what we wanna see - I also always found 779 much, muuuuuch more beatyful than the boring 600 shots...
